What the National Weather Service wrote

Thunderstorm winds downed multiple trees in Shelbyville, with one blown onto powerlines.

The wider storm

Marginally hot and rather humid conditions on the 19th produced adequate instability for scattered afternoon thunderstorms ahead of an approaching cold front. Thicker cloud cover to the north of Interstate 70 produced a differential heating boundary that storms formed along, with one of the day's first cells producing isolated wind damage in Shelby County.

Began near Shelbyville (39.5200, -85.7600).
